Can you elaborate on how this is done? I'd love to give it a shot if it is not too difficult/involved (my skills are limited  ). |
Sure, this is really not to tough at all. To do it right you will need a rather small drill bit and a pair of modeling shears (plain old diagonal side cutters,"dikes" will do also), and some "super" type glue and a small bit of brass or other metal rod, heck a paper clip will do in a pinch!
Using the shears cut the tail wheel strut just below the lt. brown upper strut portion. Now having seperated the strut and lightly sanding or filing the "break" you will need to drill about 2-3mm into both halves at the point of your initial cut. Then simply cut a length of your brass rod and insert and glue the two strut halves back together w/ the brass rod as a core to add strength. Heck mine is probably stronger than the original strut and w/ a bit o touch up paint, you cant tell it has been repaired! Well except I just told all of you...
